Wednesday, February 10, 1904 THE SUMPTER MINER THE CRACKER JACK REPRESENTS THREE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES SAFETY CONSERVATISM CERTAINTY Y T It Not Infrequently Happe ns That a Western mine is advertised with more freedom in the Kant than it Ih nt home. Where thin in done there is ripe indication of hick of faith. While u prophet may not be without honor except in IiIh own country, a mine must oe accorueu nonor in nn own vicinuy, or u ib uencient in worm. Those who live where mines are made kuoWthat it is not only the likelihood of values that makes a mine, but the character ami ability of the men back of it. IHuslness management is the first requisite, because without keen commercial foresight the value of the property might be in doubt, hut where there are reputations to be upheld it is a foregone conclusion that honesty in the directorate will lie supple mented with honesty from the grass roots down, or, to be exact, with values that will be eutllcicntlv profitable to make the property an earner for all Interested in it. Those who live in Oregon, and whose interest is centered in mining, know that the management of the CRACKER JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINKS COMPANY is tried, capable and of reputation. They are not novices. They are not pushing operations on the Cracker Jack group on hearsay. What they do is based on study, investigation and fact. The Cracker Jack Is not a mine, but a group of mining claims, possessed of just as much to recommend it as may be found on the North Pole or the Cracker-Oregon. The property in "young." A little later on the company can talk of assays, and other things that will tend to enhance the selling price of slock. At present it is a mine of opportunity. It is a safe place to put one's money. It will not earn right away. If it could the stock would be selling at par, and it would no longer be a mine of opportunity (or small investors. In the KaBt it would be well to tell about the Cracker Creek mines, but out here in the Sumpter fields the story of these properties is too well known to call for reitetition. What has been done on the Cracker-Oregon and what is being done in that mine most Oregon people know. Those who will investigate will And that the continuation of the veins (northward) carry the values up into the Cracker Jack. This means intrinsic worth in the Cracker Jack group. It means profits Inter on, and profit means dividends. This is the story in a nutshell. Three Tunnels Started Threo tunnels havo been otartod on the Cracker Jack. Work In two is !olng prosecuted. When these workings I have ibeen driven n little farther we can talk of values. Hut is it not belter to buv stock now and nrolit bv the uncoverlnir of those values that every mining engineer in the Sumpter fields knows are there ? Is it not wiser to put your savings in a corporation that insures the safest kind of security and be among the "charter members" when the time of dividends arrives V Tn be briefer Is it not wiser policy to secure this stock while it is low, in order to realixo returns on your money when the day of profits arrives, than bny.at a higher price and receive less than you can secure now ? As One Knows, You Realize That such towns as Sumpter are built on mining success. To talk of Kasteru conservatism to you would Iw time wanted. Notwithstanding, because you do know, where Bheer luck wins once, method and business mauiitfcineut win a dozen iiich Therefore, the safest way is to follow the successful banner. The men back the CRACKER JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINKS COMPANY have rrcr nee to guide them . They have had to do with the California, over in Cable Cove district; they have imh.ui:. nown through the Cracker-Oregon, and their excellent service for the (Solcouda established a record in mining annals. Now they say that the Cracker Jack is all that any of the other mines could be, and they declare that the day is not far distant when this property will lie one of the big producers of the district. They claim that it will he a dividend payer that no stockholder need Imj ashamed of, and they are selling stock in the Cracker Jack for the snmu reason they sold stock in the others. They do not wish to per mit anything to lag about oening and equipping the nroerty. They are not growing careless because the treasury of the company is well supplied with capital. They are looking forward to the time when they will need much more money for equipment, and when that time arrives they intend to Imj found prepared This company is willing that von should reap your reward from the eiruings of this mine.
